Cellulitis, but managable. Needs urgent sugar control, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory . Consider insulin for short term with a good diabetologist.

Most likely cellulitis. Ie infection of skin. But may need longer treatment if infection below the skin. Also it is most likely because of poorly controlled diabetes. Will need more medication and increasing the current meds to help with the foot infection
